Hi Guys

I've had my 2001 2.6 CD now since January adn done around 4k, Should I think about servicing the vehicle and if so what should I be looking at changing?

Cheers

Do you Know when the last service was?

when not then do a service, ie. air, fuel, oil filters And oil. check breaks, change if needed.

I would change the oil if i was you. I do mine about every 4000miles with Vauxhalls own brand

Thanks guys, I thought I'd heard somewehere that the oil should be changed around the 3-4k mark but was never sure...
Is it a reasonanly easy job to do on the driveway?

Where's the best place to buy parts ie Main dealer or Halfords?

 

[markey mark]

main dealer on trade club matey ! and resize your avatar its covering text !

[Jimbob]

people here mainly get service parts from the dealer, providing you have some sort of tradecard access (can be obtained for £20 per year by joining autobahstomers etc)

there oil is then very good, and cheap (you buy 4x5litres for £30)
other parts also cheap enough there, and often much better quality than pattern, eg airfilters are twice the thickness of halfords ones, but mann ones are about the same

[TheBoy]

General service items I tend to use genuine GM parts, as on TC, normally cheaper than pattern, and superior quality.  Some things I use pattern as some GM parts are expensive

Thanks Guys,

Can you obtain the parts on-line?
